Patent CA-2573086-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HITCH LINDSAY DAVID
IPC: B65G15/44
Filed: 2005-01-10
Abstract: The grain and fertiliser conveyor (10) of the present invention transports particulate material quickly and efficiently whilst minimising damage to the material (75) being transported. The conveyor includes an elongated housing (14) which houses a conveyor belt (16) adapted to receive material through a catchment hopper at a lower end of the housing and transport the material to the upper end of the housing for discharge therefrom. The conveyor belt (16) is both cleated (66) and bordered (68, 70) which allows for larger volumes of material to be conveyed without contacting the side walls of the housing (14) and hence minimising damage to the material. Further, the conveyor (10) includes a non-complex mechanism for tensioning and de-tensioning the belt (16). It is envisaged that the conveyor (10) of the present invention may supersede many conveyors and augers which are used today in the agricultural industry

Inventor: JIANG WEN GUO
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2005-07-27
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and kit, including parts thereof, for the prognosis of breast cancer. In particular, the method involves identifying a gene expression pattern, or molecular signature, that indicates the likelihood of survival of a patient with breast cancer, and/or likelihood of recurrence of the disease in a patient being treated, or having been treated, for breast cancer, and the likelihood of a patient having a metastatic form of cancer. Six molecular signatures, comprising twelve groups/sets of molecular markers have been identified, which have relevance in determining the prognosis of a given breast cancer. Each molecular signature comprises a plurality of genetic markers whose expression, either high or low in respect of normal tissue, is indicative of a given outcome, such as survival or recurrence.

Patent CA-2590498-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SHAW WILLIAM DOUGLAS JR
IPC: A61B17/94
Filed: 2007-05-30
Abstract: Methods and devices are provided for rotating an end effector on a long, flexible medical device. The methods and devices utilize an actuator mechanism that is effective to rotate an end effector on the distal end of an elongate flexible shaft. The actuator mechanism is movable between a freely rotatable position and a rotationally resistant position.  When the actuator mechanism is in a freely rotatable position, the actuator mechanism can be rotated to impart torque to the end effector, and thus at least a distal portion of the elongate shaft, to cause the end effector to rotate. In order to prevent the actuator mechanism from "freewheeling," wherein the actuator mechanism freely rotates in an opposite direction upon release rather than the end effector rotating in the desired direction, the actuator mechanism can be moved to the rotationally resistant position.

Patent CA-2599020-A1 (CA)
Inventor: RAK ROMAN P
IPC: G06F3/033
Filed: 2007-08-27
Abstract: A device is disclosed for use in two different orientations. In one orientation, the keyboard is exposed to the user. This orientation is named the landscape orientation because the device will be positioned such that its width is larger than its height. The user would opt for the landscape orientation for tasks that require the keyboard, such as inputting data, drafting emails, sending emails, and other functions typically associated with a standard computer. The other orientation is named the portrait orientation because the device will be positioned such that its height is larger than its width.  In addition, the keyboard is not used in this orientation and therefore hidden away. The user would opt for the portrait orientation for tasks such as making and receiving telephone calls and for reading documents and emails. The device detects the orientation positioned by the user and modifies the elements shown on the display screen so that they are presented in the correct orientation to the user.
